The only “everyone” are trolls, paid or otherwise, the ignorant, and right wingnuts parroting the trolls and ignorant.
And there are a shitload of them who all seem to want to show off that opinion.
Burning petroleum is one of the most destructive things you can do and it is absolutely common to do it. Everyday a single vehicles emits enough pollution to kill countless people. It gives them cancer and when combined with lead has resulted in hundreds of millions of deaths. It is absolutely insane people continue supporting this technology.
What we really should have done is made the Car Talk guys president. If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that those two would never have forced me to listen to what some MIT grad thinks.
Absolute gold! (The hosts of Car Talk were both MIT grads)
Let me ask Facebook how credible this study is…
Yeah but I heard this one scientist said one time that EVs actually cause more cancers and make trees grow less leaves
Trans trees! And bushes! Trans nature!
Is that what you want!?
EVs beat me up and killed my dog.
EVs stole my wife and shot my kids.
EVs turned me into a newt!
A newt?
I got better?
If only there was a YouTuber that covered this months ago…
Oh wait
I love Alex, literally just watched his fan video, but you can’t act like that one video is all we need on the subject. “There’s already a video on that” doesn’t really help anyone trying to bring awareness to a massive issue
You can’t rationally argue someone out of a position that they didn’t rationally enter in the first place.
Of course you can. It just takes patience.
It’s literally what psychologists do for a living
When somebody says “You’re wrong, watch this hour long video by a youtuber to find out why”, have you ever watched the videos they linked?
Yes! But I’m definitely an oddball. I also read the terms of serving refuse to use services that have terms I disagree with.
Well here’s a video I didn’t watch about why you’re wrong.
I like technology connections but no way in hell should you be advocating for people on Facebook to get their facts from youtubers.

I don’t think I understand the argument against EV’s for their electricity source very well. Isn’t the electricity for the car being generated anyways? It’d be like saying your television is polluting worse than an ICE car or your hot tub/clothes dryer for a more power hungry example.
It takes some guy gasoline to truck gasoline to the electric pump and the powered gas station to fill your car with gasoline. Like am I missing something or are people arguing just to argue?
Unless this whole article was satire and it whooshed right over me.
The general idea is that the production of the electronics is far more destructive than making an ICE drive system. I am not well read on recent changes, but there was a point where that statement was true, but even then the electronics weren’t worse from greenhouse gas standpoint, just from other toxins.
I’m less worried about heavy metals in dumps than I am about Earth becoming too hot for mammalian life. I don’t wanna go back to dinosaur times.
They probably were at a time when a disproportionate amount of R&D was put into them but I doubt Facebook understands this
provably
Hey look! Someone who’s never made a grammatical error!
Where!
